Physical Stats

Training Principles
1. Super Soldier Athleticism
Cap’s strength is explosive, functional, and full-body. Training with compound movements and dynamic transitions builds the kind of athleticism that thrives in combat.
In Practice: Dumbbell thrusters, kettlebell snatch, jump lunges, push-up to stand transitions.
2. Rotational Strength
Shield throws, evasive maneuvers, and battlefield torque demand rotational power. Training cross-body and anti-rotation movements builds strength that transfers to real-world action.
In Practice: Dumbbell cross-body chops, kettlebell windmills, offset Russian twists.
3. Tactical Conditioning
Cap doesn’t just fight hard — he fights smart. Training with EMOMs and hybrid circuits builds conditioning that’s strategic, layered, and battlefield-ready.
In Practice: EMOM bodyweight circuits, kettlebell clean + squat complexes, push-up ladders.
4.Durability
He takes hits and keeps moving. Training tempo control, isometric holds, and grip endurance builds the kind of resilience that lasts through any fight.
In Practice: Tempo goblet squats, plank holds, wall sits, dumbbell farmer’s carries.
5. Adaptive Muscle Memory
Cap learns and evolves mid-combat. Training hybrid movements and flow chains builds neuromuscular adaptability and reactive control.
In Practice: Crawl-to-stand drills, offset push-up + row combos, kettlebell flow chains.
